eduggs Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The Euro ensemble mean (shown in the Gen thread) is exactly where I thought it would be and exactly where I want it to be. Slightly faster than and NE of the OP In my head I have been targeting something close to the 12z GGEM for eventual SLP track/intensity. But the GFS ensembles and consistency of the Euro/ensembles have me hedging ever so slightly westward of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AR_ Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This is a little off topic but they have already brined the roads up here. They've been brineing the roads around here. Maybe not the past few days but before that the roads were white with salt for about a full week. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah, it looks like it's going to go out to sea on the early frames of the DGEX. But it's ridiculously more amplified compared to it's 06z run..and way further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah, it looks like it's going to go out to sea on the early frames of the DGEX. But it's ridiculously more amplified compared to it's 06z run..and way further west. I think of amplitude as the distance from midpoint to crest or trough. And I don't see too much change in wave amplitude on the 18z. But like you say, differences are significant this run. What I see is higher heights on the east coast and a dominant "northern stream." This run, unlike the 12z, appears to squash the "southern stream" s/w, which somewhat paradoxically allows for a stronger s/w ridge downstream - which now appears essential. To me this evolution looks similar to other guidance that eventually develop a strong coastal low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynSnow Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Question: Weren't we experiencing similar hype about a big weekend storm just a week ago? I feel like we are headed for a similar let down. As not having a technical training in Meteorology, could someone enlighten me on why some seem more sure about this one since it seems the models are not yet in total agreement yet?

billgwx Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 No blowing snow warning. Not sure if they'd coalesce the High WInd and Blizzard Warnings into a simple Blizzard Warning, but they might. I've heard of that being done before. That's the way it's supposed to be done if the blizzard conditions and high wind occur simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This is a little off topic but they have already brined the roads up here. I saw them doing the same thing around here last week about 3 days before the OTS storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Last week the Euro only had one really good run and yes it was only 72 hours before but it didn't have any model support and quickly followed suit with an OTS solution. Yes the same thing could happen but you have to have some faith in the consistency and the other models seeming shift towards it.

Some similiarities, but there was definitely much less confidence this far out. Most of the models had either been flip flopping back and forth or gone completely away from a coastal solution. There was no consistency like theres been with the Euro and this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
